“And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.”
The servant's renewed purpose—'And now Yahweh says, he who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him'—redefines the servant's calling. The reference to being formed 'in the womb' recalls verse 1, emphasizing pre-natal purpose. The stated goal of 'bringing Jacob back' and 'gathering Israel' focuses on restoration. This verse clarifies that the servant's work is directed toward Israel's return and reunification.
